Los Angeles County sheriff’s detectives are investigating a triple homicide in Palmdale, authorities said Sunday.
Deputies discovered three bodies while conducting a welfare check at a home in the 11 block of Avenue N-12 about 4 p.m. Saturday, according to a statement from the Sheriff’s Department.
A sister of one of the victims notified officials after she became concerned about her brother, authorities said.
A man in his 80s, believed to be the father of the woman who called authorities, was found dead inside the home on Avenue N-12; his son and daughter-in-law, both in their 50s, were found dead at another location, according to the sheriff’s statement.
They have not officially been identified.

No arrests have been made.
